Mirza Cirkinagic - Session Moderator
Mirza was born to a family of travelers and got the love of travel in straight through the DNA. Arriving in Denmark in the 90s as a refugee, Mirza quickly integrated himself into Danish society. Once his citizenship to Denmark was granted, and his high school finished, he left Denmark and didn’t come back for two and a half years, having traveled from the top of North America to the bottom of South America and doing a year in Australia. Since then, Mirza has been to all seven continents and 68 countries and counting. Among his favorites escapades: driving a Citroen Berlingo from London to Mongolia with three friends (18.000 km over 43 days), doing the Trans-Mongolian railway from Beijing to Sct. Petersburg, visiting Antarctica as his last continent with his future wife and kayaking there, doing the Mirza and the Explordinary Journey project; he went traveling for five weeks, and the destinations and activities were all voted on by KILROY customers. Current project: dragging his kids across the world with him.
Mikke Unkuri Lind
Mikke has been working for KILROY over 10 years and has learned a few travel truths throughout this time. Don’t forget your passport in Cambodia. Even if you are in Mendoza, Argentina the 7 SEK wine is not a good option. Bring a camera to Machu Picchu. Don’t go to Rio on new years without a place to stay, it can be expensive!
Frida Nilsson
Frida saved up for an entire year to make her backpacking bucket list come true before departing her home country – Sweden on a one-way ticket to SE Asia. First stop: Thailand and it was an entirely new world than the one she was use to but Frida quickly got the hang of the nomadic lifestyle. The hardest part for her was not deciding where to go next, but to buy the ticket home again. Frida is a traveler at heart and believes that all of her travels have shaped who she is today. Her bucket list continues to grow every time she meets with a potential traveler to help arrange their travel dreams!
